Guess who gets dumbass of the nite award?
ME!!!
So after replacing the rear calipers and painting all four calipers. I take my 5ktq for a spin confident I have fixed my sticky rear caliper situation and can now confidently e-brake with Joy. No such FRICKIN luck. Cable is seized up... not bad calipers. (insert big sigh !!) Now before you all scold me on this commen problem, keep in mind not a mere 2 months ago the cables were free and working, but the drivers side parking brake levr on the caliper would not re-tract. So now I have new rear calipers and need new cables.
Does it ever end????????

Same thing happened with my rear caliper pins.
1 seized, others were free. Fast forward 2 months with new pads, rotors, and pin boots, opposite side caliper seized and pin snaps off. #@#@^%$^#Q@!@.
No, it never ends. Ever wonder why we do it?
I might compound my pain with another Audi.
